From the Spainish Embassy:
Within the framework of “EU Music Festival“, a Pop concert with El Guincho will be held in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
See the complete EU Music Festival schedule.
El Guincho is the recording alias of Spanish musician Pablo Díaz-Reixa. Also a member of Coconot, Díaz-Reixa rose to prominence with his 2008 album, Alegranza!. His musical style, influenced by a broad range of artists like Animal Collective and Os Mutantes, relies heavily on the use of sampling and incorporates elements of Afrobeat, dub, Tropicália androck and roll as Díaz-Reixa achieves what he’s described as a kind of “space-age exotica”. He uses a Roland SP-404.
Pop Negro’s production is based on hi-fi aesthetics from the golden-era of recordings. I did some research on radio hits/big selling singles in North and South America, England and Spain in the late 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. I found out that a massive percentage of these hits were engineered (sometimes also produced) by just around 40/ 50 different guys. The ones I’ve chosen here became a big influence on Pop Negro.
